Introducing Razor Syntax

What is Razor?A new View engine , parser for ASP.Net MVC.Less control characters to make html and code flow

together.Easy to learn, based on c#.It is split into 3 parts or actors:

A markup parser (understands basics of HTML)Code parser (understands basics of C# or VB.NET)A central orchestrator which can mix the two

These actors work together to parse a Razor document
